Abstract
Natural photosensitizers (PSs) and their derivatives have drawn ever-increasing attention in photodynamic therapy (PDT) for their wild range of sources, desirable biocompatibility, and good photosensitivity. Nevertheless, many factors such as poor solubility, high body clearance rate, limited tumor targeting ability, and short excitation wavelengths severely hinder their applications in efficient PDT. In recent years, fabricating nanostructures by utilizing molecular assembly technique is proposed to solve these problems. This technique is easy to put into effect, and the assembled nanostructures could improve the physical properties of the PSs so as to meet the requirement of PDT. In this concept, we focus on the construction of natural PSs and their derivatives nanostructures through molecular assembly technique to enhance PDT efficacy (Figure 1). Furthermore, current challenges and future perspectives of natural PSs and their derivatives for efficient PDT are discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cervical LSIL is a precancerous disease which requires regular follow-up. High risk patients need active interventions. Interferon and topical PDT have been used in the treatment of cervical LSIL. The aim of this study was to evaluate the combination use of topical PDT and interferon in the treatment of cervical LSIL. MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective study was carried out involving 159 women with cervical LSIL and high risk human papillomaviruses (hr-HPV) infection. Patients were divided into three groups. Group 1-receiving interferon suppository only, Group 2-receiving 19 mg/cm2 ALA plus post PDT interferon, and Group 3-receiving 38 mg/cm2 ALA plus post PDT interferon. The primary endpoint was pathological regression. The secondary endpoints were the HPV negative conversion rate and the adverse effects of treatment. RESULTS At 6-12 months after PDT, for Group 1, the effective rate, CR rate and HPV negative conversion rate was 48.3 %, 43.3 % and 24.0 %, respectively. For Group 2, the effective rate, CR rate and HPV negative conversion rate were 89.3 %, 71.4 %, and 72.4 %, respectively. For Group 3, the effective rate, CR rate and HPV negative conversion rate were 91.5 %, 66.1 %, and 64.4 %, respectively, significantly higher than those of interferon only group. Two ALA dose group study showed similar efficacy. No patient experienced serious adverse effects. CONCLUSIONS ALA-PDT combined with interferon therapy was feasible and tolerable. Two ALA dose groups showed similar outcomes in treating cervical LSIL.

Abstract
Phototherapies induced by photoactive nanomaterials have inspired and accentuated the importance of nanomedicine in cancer therapy in recent years. During these light-activated cancer therapies, a nanoagent can produce heat and cytotoxic reactive oxygen species by absorption of light energy for photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, PTT is limited by the self-protective nature of cells, with upregulated production of heat shock proteins (HSP) under mild hyperthermia, which also influences PDT. To reduce HSP production in cancer cells and to enhance PTT/PDT, small HSP inhibitors that can competitively bind at the ATP-binding site of an HSP could be employed. Alternatively, reducing intracellular glucose concentration can also decrease ATP production from the metabolic pathways and downregulate HSP production from glucose deprivation. Other than reversing the thermal resistance of cancer cells for mild-temperature PTT, an HSP inhibitor can also be integrated into functionalized nanomaterials to alleviate tumor hypoxia and enhance the efficacy of PDT. Furthermore, the co-delivery of a small-molecule drug for direct HSP inhibition and a chemotherapeutic drug can integrate enhanced PTT/PDT with chemotherapy (CT). On the other hand, delivering a glucose-deprivation agent like glucose oxidase (GOx) can indirectly inhibit HSP and boost the efficacy of PTT/PDT while combining these therapies with cancer starvation therapy (ST). In this review, we intend to discuss different nanomaterial-based approaches that can inhibit HSP production via ATP regulation and their uses in PTT/PDT and cancer combination therapy such as CT and ST.

Abstract
Development of a nanoscale drug delivery system that can simultaneously exert efficient tumor therapeutic efficacy while creating the desired antitumor immune responses is still challenging. Herein, we report the use of a manganese dioxide (MnO2)-entrapping dendrimer nanocarrier to codeliver glucose oxidase (GOx) and cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP), an agonist of the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) for improved tumor chemodynamic/starvation/immune therapy. Methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG)- and phenylboronic acid (PBA)-modified generation 5 (G5) poly(amidoamine) dendrimers were first synthesized and then entrapped with MnO2 nanoparticles (NPs) to generate the hybrid MnO2@G5-mPEG-PBA (MGPP) NPs. The created MGPP NPs with an MnO2 core size of 2.8 nm display efficient glutathione depletion ability, and a favorable Mn2+ release profile under a tumor microenvironment mimetic condition to enable Fenton-like reaction and T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. We show that the MGPP-mediated GOx delivery facilitates enhanced chemodynamic/starvation therapy of cancer cells in vitro, and further codelivery of cGAMP can effectively trigger immunogenic cell death (ICD) to strongly promote the maturation of dendritic cells. In a bilateral mouse colorectal tumor model, the dendrimer delivery nanosystem elicits a potent antitumor performance with a strong abscopal effect, greatly improving the overall mouse survival rate. Importantly, the dendrimer-mediated codelivery not only allows the coordination of Mn2+ with GOx and cGAMP for respective chemodynamic/starvation-triggered ICD and augmented STING activation to boost systemic antitumor immune responses, but also enables T1-weighted tumor MR imaging, potentially serving as a promising nanoplatform for enhanced antitumor therapy with desired immune responses.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a crucial role in regulating the metabolism of tumor growth, metastasis, death and other biological processes. ROS-based nanodynamic therapies (NDTs) are becoming attractive due to non-invasive, low side effects and tumor-specific advantages. NDTs have rapidly developed into numerous branches, such as photodynamic therapy, chemodynamic therapy, sonodynamic therapy and so on. However, the complexity of the tumor microenvironment and the limitations of existing sensitizers have greatly restricted the therapeutic effects of NDTs, which heavily rely on ROS levels. To address the limitations of NDTs, various strategies have been developed to increase ROS yield, which is an urgent aspect for the positive development of NDTs. In this review, the nanodynamic potentiation strategies in terms of unique properties and universalities of NDTs are comprehensively outlined. We mainly summarize the current dilemmas faced by each NDT and the respective solutions. Meanwhile, the NDTs universalities-based potentiation strategies and NDTs-based combined treatments are elaborated. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of the key issues and challenges faced in the development and clinical transformation of NDTs.

Abstract
Notwithstanding that immunotherapy has made eminent clinical breakthroughs, activating the immunogenicity and breaking the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (ITME) remains tempting yet challenging. Herein, a customized-designed immunostimulant is engineered for attenuating ITME and eliciting an immune response to address this challenge head-on. This immunostimulant is equipped with dual silica layers coated upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) as nanocarriers modified with endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-targeted molecular N-p-Tosylglycine, in which the dense silica for chlorin e6 (Ce6) and the glutathione (GSH)-responsive degradable silica for loading resveratrol (RES) - (UCSMRER ). On the one hand, this precise ER-targeted photodynamic therapy (PDT) can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in situ under the 980 nm laser irradiation, which not only induced severe cell death directly but also caused intense ER stress-based immunogenic cell death (ICD). On the other hand, tumor hypoxia aggravated by the PDT is alleviated by RES released on-demand, which reduced oxygen consumption by impairing the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC). This integrated precise ER-targeted and oxygen-compensated strategy maximized the PDT effect and potentiated ICD-associated immunotherapy, which availed to attenuate ITME, activate tumor immunogenicity, and further magnify the anti-tumor effect. This innovative concept about PDT and immunotherapy sheds light on cancer-related clinical application.

Abstract
The photodynamic inactivation (PDI) is a novel and effective nonthermal inactivation technology. This review provides a comprehensive overview on the bactericidal ability of endogenous photosensitizers (PSs)-mediated and exogenous PSs-mediated PDI against planktonic bacteria and their biofilms, as well as fungi. In general, the PDI exhibited a broad-spectrum ability in inactivating planktonic bacteria and fungi, but its potency was usually weakened in vivo and for eradicating biofilms. On this basis, new strategies have been proposed to strengthen the PDI potency in food system, mainly including the physical and chemical modification of PSs, the combination of PDI with multiple adjuvants, adjusting the working conditions of PDI, improving the targeting ability of PSs, and the emerging aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens). Meanwhile, the mechanisms of PDI on eradicating mono-/mixed-species biofilms and preserving foods were also summarized. Notably, the PDI-mediated antimicrobial packaging film was proposed and introduced. This review gives a new insight to develop the potent PDI system to combat microbial contamination and hazard in food industry.

Abstract
Two-photon-excited photodynamic therapy (TPE-PDT) has significant advantages over conventional photodynamic therapy (PDT). However, obtaining easily accessible TPE photosensitizers (PSs) with high efficiency remains a challenge. Herein, we demonstrate that emodin (Emo), a natural anthraquinone (NA) derivative, is a promising TPE PS with a large two-photon absorption cross-section (TPAC: 380.9 GM) and high singlet oxygen (1 O2 ) quantum yield (31.9 %). When co-assembled with human serum albumin (HSA), the formed Emo/HSA nanoparticles (E/H NPs) possess a giant TPAC (4.02×107 GM) and desirable 1 O2 generation capability, thus showing outstanding TPE-PDT properties against cancer cells. In vivo experiments reveal that E/H NPs exhibit improved retention time in tumors and can ablate tumors at an ultra-low dosage (0.2 mg/kg) under an 800 nm femtosecond pulsed laser irradiation. This work is beneficial for the use of natural extracts NAs for high-efficiency TPE-PDT.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an innovative and perspective antineoplastic therapy. Tetra-α-(4-carboxyphenoxy) phthalocyanine zinc (TαPcZn)-mediated PDT (TαPcZn-PDT) has shown antitumor activity in some tumor cells, but the manner in which caspase-1 is involved in the regulation of apoptosis and pyroptosis in the TαPcZn-PDT-treated breast cancer MCF-7 cells is unclear. Therefore, effects of TαPcZn-PDT on cytotoxicity, cell viability, apoptosis, pyroptosis, cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), caspase-1, caspase-3, and nuclear transcription factor-κB (NFκB) in MCF-7 cells was firstly examined in the present study. The findings demonstrated that TαPcZn-PDT resulted in the increase in cytotoxicity and the percentage of apoptotic and pyroptotic cells, the reduction in cell viability and ΔΨm, the production of ROS and the activation of caspase-1, caspase-3 and NFκB in MCF-7 cells. Furthermore, the results also revealed that siRNA-targeting caspase-1 (siRNA-caspase-1) attenuated the effect of TαPcZn-PDT on apoptosis, pyroptosis and the activation of caspase-1, caspase-3 and NFκB in MCF-7 cells. Taken together, we conclude that caspase-1 regulates the apoptosis and pyroptosis induced by TαPcZn-PDT in MCF-7 cells.

Abstract
Phototherapies, mainly including photodynamic and photothermal therapy, have made considerable strides in the field of cancer treatment. With the aid of phototherapeutic agents, reactive oxygen species (ROS) or heat are generated under light irradiation to selectively damage cancer cells. However, sole-modality phototherapy faces certain drawbacks, such as limited penetration of phototherapeutic agents into tumor tissues, inefficient ROS generation due to hypoxia, treatment-induced inflammation and resistance of tumor to treatment (e.g., high levels of antioxidants, expression of heat shock protein). Gas therapy, an emerging therapy approach that damages cancer cells by improving the level of certain gas at the tumor site, shows potential to overcome the challenges associated with phototherapies. In addition, with the rapid development of nanotechnology, gas-assisted phototherapy based on nanomedicines has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance the treatment efficacy. This review summarizes recent advances in gas-assisted phototherapy and discusses the prospects and challenges of this strategy in cancer phototherapy.

Abstract
Dendritic cell (DC)-based cancer immunotherapy has exhibited remarkable clinical prospects because DCs play a central role in initiating and regulating adaptive immune responses. However, the application of traditional DC-mediated immunotherapy is limited due to insufficient antigen delivery, inadequate antigen presentation, and high levels of immunosuppression. To address these challenges, engineered biomaterials have been exploited to enhance DC-mediated immunotherapeutic effects. In this review, vital principal components that can enhance DC-mediated immunotherapeutic effects are first introduced. The parameters considered in the rational design of biomaterials, including targeting modifications, size, shape, surface, and mechanical properties, which can affect biomaterial optimization of DC functions, are further summarized. Moreover, recent applications of various engineered biomaterials in the field of DC-mediated immunotherapy are reviewed, including those serve as immune component delivery platforms, remodel the tumor microenvironment, and synergistically enhance the effects of other antitumor therapies. Overall, the present review comprehensively and systematically summarizes biomaterials related to the promotion of DC functions; and specifically focuses on the recent advances in biomaterial designs for DC activation to eradicate tumors. The challenges and opportunities of treatment strategies designed to amplify DCs via the application of biomaterials are discussed with the aim of inspiring the clinical translation of future DC-mediated cancer immunotherapies.

Abstract
Oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) are associated with an increased risk of occurrence of cancers of the oral cavity or lips. The unifying theme of OPMDs is their potential risk for cancer development. Therefore, the primary objective of the management should be to prevent carcinogenesis. Beyond diagnosis, current strategies for the management of OPMDs predominantly include non-surgical and surgical interventions and a "watch-and-see" approach, such as disease monitoring or surveillance, and preventive strategies. Though no optimal clinical treatment has gained universal approval for reducing or preventing malignant development of OPMDs. Therefore, an urgent need exits for improved treatment properties and effective predictive markers for OPMDs treatment. This review aims to outline recent synergism regarding to the management of OPMDs. Developing new technologies and improved application parameters to promote the treatment efficacy and a novel management prescription approach to OPMDs are proposed.

Abstract
The limited penetration depth of nanodrugs in the tumor and the severe hypoxia inside the tumor significantly reduce the efficacy of photothermal-photodynamic synergistic therapy (PTT-PDT). Here, we synthesized a methoxypolyethylene glycol amine (mPEG-NH2)-modified walnut-shaped polydopamine nanomotor (PDA-PEG) driven by near-infrared light (NIR). At the same time, it also loaded the photosensitizer indocyanine green (ICG) via electrostatic/hydrophobicinteractions and chelated with ferric ion (Fe3+). Under the irradiation of NIR, the asymmetry of PDA-PEG morphology led to the asymmetry of local photothermal effects and the formation of thermal gradient, which can make the nanomotor move autonomously. This ability of autonomous movement was proved to be used to improve the permeability of the nanomotor in three-dimensional (3D) tumor sphere. Fe3+ can catalyze endogenous hydrogen peroxide to produce oxygen, so as to overcome the hypoxia of tumor microenvironment and thereby generate more singlet oxygen to kill tumor cells. Animal experiments in vivo confirmed that the nanomotors had a good PTT-PDT synergistic treatment effect. The introduction of nanomotor technology has brought new ideas for cancer optical therapy.

Insight into the Crosstalk between Photodynamic Therapy and Immunotherapy in Breast Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15051532.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is the world's second most frequent malignancy and the leading cause of mortality among women. All in situ or invasive breast cancer derives from terminal tubulobular units; when the tumor is present only in the ducts or lobules in situ, it is called ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)/lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS). The biggest risk factors are age, mutations in breast cancer genes 1 or 2 (BRCA1 or BRCA2), and dense breast tissue. Current treatments are associated with various side effects, recurrence, and poor quality of life. The critical role of the immune system in breast cancer progression/regression should always be considered. Several immunotherapy techniques for BC have been studied, including tumor-targeted antibodies (bispecific antibodies), adoptive T cell therapy, vaccinations, and immune checkpoint inhibition with anti-PD-1 antibodies. In the last decade, significant breakthroughs have been made in breast cancer immunotherapy. This advancement was principally prompted by cancer cells' escape of immune regulation and the tumor's subsequent resistance to traditional therapy. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has shown potential as a cancer treatment. It is less intrusive, more focused, and less damaging to normal cells and tissues. It entails the employment of a photosensitizer (PS) and a specific wavelength of light to create reactive oxygen species. Recently, an increasing number of studies have shown that PDT combined with immunotherapy improves the effect of tumor drugs and reduces tumor immune escape, improving the prognosis of breast cancer patients. Therefore, we objectively evaluate strategies for their limitations and benefits, which are critical to improving outcomes for breast cancer patients. In conclusion, we offer many avenues for further study on tailored immunotherapy, such as oxygen-enhanced PDT and nanoparticles.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) holds great promise in cancer eradication due to its target selectivity, non-invasiveness, and low systemic toxicity. However, due to the hypoxic nature of many native tumors, PDT is frequently limited in its therapeutic effect. Additionally, oxygen consumption during PDT may exacerbate the tumor's hypoxic condition, which stimulates tumor proliferation, metastasis, and invasion, resulting in poor treatment outcomes. Therefore, various strategies have been developed to combat hypoxia in PDT, such as oxygen carriers, reactive oxygen supplements, and the modulation of tumor microenvironments. However, most PDT-related studies are still conducted on two-dimensional (2D) cell cultures, which fail to accurately reflect tissue complexity. Thus, three-dimensional (3D) cell cultures are ideal models for drug screening, disease simulation and targeted cancer therapy, since they accurately replicate the tumor tissue architecture and microenvironment. This review summarizes recent advances in the development of strategies to overcome tumor hypoxia for enhanced PDT efficiency, with a particular focus on nanoparticle-based photosensitizer (PS) delivery systems, as well as the advantages of 3D cell cultures.

Abstract
Phototherapy has been a promising therapeutic modality for pathological tissue due to its spatiotemporal selectivity and non-invasive characteristics. However, as a core component of phototherapy, a single photosensitizer (PS) nanoplatform integrating excellent therapeutic efficiency and minimal side effects remains an urgent but unmet need. Here, we construct a J-aggregated nano-porphyrin termed MTE based on the self-assembly of methyl-pheophorbide a derivative MPa-TEG (MT) and natural polyphenolic compound epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Due to the synergistic interaction between similar large π-conjugated structural EGCG and MT, MTE with small and uniform size is obtained by effectively hindering Ostwald ripening of MT. Noteworthily, MTE not only effectively avoids the inadvertent side effects of phototoxicity during transport thank to the ability of reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging, but also achieves two-pathway augmented superior phototherapy: (1) enhancing photodynamic therapy (PDT) via inhibiting the expression of anti-apoptosis protein surviving; (2) achieving adjuvant mild-temperature laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) via reducing the tumor thermoresistance on account that MTE inhibits the overexpression of HSP 70 and HSP 90. This research not only offers a facile strategy to construct multicomponent nanoplatforms but also provides a new pathway for efficient and low-toxicity phototherapy, which is beneficial to the future clinical application.

Abstract
Using intracellular-controlled photochemistry to track dynamic organelle processes is gaining attention due to its broad applications. However, most of the employed molecular probes usually require toxic photosensitizers and complex bioanalytical protocols. Here, the synthesis and performance of two new subcellular probes (MitoT1 and MitoT2) are described. The probes undergo photooxidation in the damaged tissue of zebrafish, a model system for tissue regeneration studies. Using high-resolution confocal microscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy, we combine the mentioned photoinduced interconversion at the homeostatic membrane viscosity to track singlet oxygen activity selectively. The continuous and real-time biosensing method reported here provides a new approach for simultaneously detecting endogenous singlet oxygen and viscosity status.

Abstract
Diverse oxygen generation strategies have been developed to overcome hypoxia in tumors for enhancing the therapeutic efficacy, but inevitably suffering from tedious synthesis process of oxygen generators in vitro before in vivo administration. Herein, we show direct injection of commercially and clinically used KMnO4 into solid tumors enables in situ formation of MnO2 as an oxygen depot for cascade oxidation damage and enhanced photodynamic therapy. KMnO4 can damage tumor tissues by oxidation and generate MnO2, and subsequent intravenous injection of Ce6 allows MnO2-triggered hypoxia-modulated photodynamic therapy of tumors. Excellent cascade tumor suppression effect is realized both in vitro and in vivo based on the KMnO4-Ce6 system without the need of synthesis. The proposed strategy lays down a novel way with unprecedented superiors of no need of synthesis process and ultra-facile administration procedure for tumor hypoxia-modulated cascade therapy.

Abstract
Conventional photosensitizers (PSs) often have shorter excitation wavelengths and poor cancer cell targeting, resulting in a limited tissue penetration depth and increased biotoxicity, which are significant barriers to ensuring effective photodynamic therapy (PDT) in vivo. In this work, a cyclometallated iridium(III) complex (Ir-Biotin) with a long excitation wavelength and effective cancer cell targeting was designed and synthesized. The initial in vitro assessment indicated that Ir-Biotin shows excellent PDT activity with a high singlet-oxygen (1O2) generation yield (0.19) due to the facilitated intersystem crossing process. Further study shows that Ir-Biotin shows good biocompatibility, has specific selectivity for cancer cells, and can induce apoptosis under laser irradiation. Furthermore, Ir-Biotin can be applied for imaging-guided PDT using an in vivo imaging system, and showed significant anti-tumour effects (tumour growth inhibition value: 87.66%). These results reveal the importance of long excitation wavelengths of photosensitizers for efficient PDT and suggest a promising strategy for developing effective photosensitizers.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-based cancer treatments have attracted much attention in recent years. However, most patients respond poorly to the monotypic ROS during these treatments. In this work, a multiple ROS-based cancer immunotherapy synergistic strategy has been developed to enhance the therapeutic effect of cancer. We prepare a three-dimensional covalent organic framework (3D COF-TATB), and embed copper ions (Cu2+) into the skeleton to obtain multifunctional nanomaterial, 3D Cu@COF-TATB. In this system, porphyrins in 3D COF-TATB serve not only as the photosensitizer for photodynamic process to produce singlet oxygen(1O2), but also as the binding sites to complex with Cu2+. Cu2+ can be reduced by the GSH to generate Cu+ to produce hydroxyl radical (•OH) through the Fenton-like reaction. Moreover, the generated multiple types of ROS induce the immunogenic cell death (ICD) of cancer cells to improve the immunogenicity and further activate an immune response for attacking the tumor. Combining with the immunoblocking inhibitor (aPD-1), 3D Cu@COF-TATB can effectively inhibit the tumor growth. This work will provide a guidance for multimodal cancer therapy in future clinical treatment settings.

Abstract
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is an invaluable tool in biomedical imaging, as it provides anatomical and functional information in real time. Its ability to image at clinically relevant depths with high spatial resolution using endogenous tissues as contrast agents constitutes its major advantage. One of the most important applications of PAI is to quantify tissue oxygen saturation by measuring the differential absorption characteristics of oxy and deoxy Hb. Consequently, PAI can be utilized to monitor tumor-related hypoxia, which is a crucial factor in tumor microenvironments that has a strong influence on tumor invasiveness. Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-based therapies, such as photodynamic therapy, radiotherapy, and sonodynamic therapy, are oxygen-consuming, and tumor hypoxia is detrimental to their efficacy. Therefore, a persistent demand exists for agents that can supply oxygen to tumors for better ROS-based therapeutic outcomes. Among the various strategies, NP-mediated supplemental tumor oxygenation is especially encouraging due to its physio-chemical, tumor targeting, and theranostic properties. Here, we focus on NP-based tumor oxygenation, which includes NP as oxygen carriers and oxygen-generating strategies to alleviate hypoxia monitored by PAI. The information obtained from quantitative tumor oxygenation by PAI not only supports optimal therapeutic design but also serves as a highly effective tool to predict therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has become a serious health problem with high impact worldwide. The heterogeneity of PDAC makes it difficult to apply drug delivery systems (DDS) used in other cancer models, for example, the poorly developed vascular system makes anti-angiogenic therapy ineffective. Due to its various malignant pathological changes, drug delivery against PDAC is a matter of urgent concern. Based on this situation, various drug delivery strategies specially designed for PDAC have been generated. AREAS COVERED This review will briefly describe how delivery systems can be designed through nanotechnology and formulation science. Most research focused on penetrating the stromal barrier, exploiting and alleviating the hypoxic microenvironment, targeting immune cells, or designing vaccines, and combination therapies. This review will summarize the ways to reverse the malignant pathological features of PDAC and hopefully provide ideas for subsequent studies. EXPERT OPINION Drug delivery systems designed to achieve penetrating functions or to alleviate hypoxia and activate immunity have achieved good therapeutic results in animal models in several studies. In future studies, there is a need to deliver PDAC therapeutics in a more precise manner, or the use of drug carriers for multiple functions simultaneously, are potential therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
In situ self-assembly in vivo can be used in the enhanced diagnosis and therapy of major diseases such as cancer and bacterial infections on the basis of an assembly/aggregation-induced-retention (AIR) effect. However, the aggregation degree (αagg) is a significant parameter for determining the delivery efficiency to lesions in a complex physiological environment and a real-time quantitative calculation of the aggregation degree in vivo is still a great challenge. Here, we developed a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method for sensitive and quantitative calculation of αagg with a detection limit of 10-4 M and a bioactivated in vivo assembly (BIVA) magnetic resonance (MR) probe was optimized for enhanced T1-weighted MR imaging of M2 macrophages in tumors. Our MRI quantitative calculation method had a high fitting degree (R2 = 0.987) with the gold standard fluorescence (FL) method. On the basis of the BIVA mechanism of CD206 active targeting and cathepsin B specific tailoring to induce an in situ nanofiber assembly, our optimized BIVA probe exhibited a high intracellular aggregation degree of over 70% and a high in vivo αagg value of over 55%. Finally, the aggregation-enhanced T1 MR signal and the AIR effect both contributed to enhanced T1-weighted MR imaging of M2 macrophages in triple-negative breast cancer. We believe that our αagg real-time quantitative calculation method of MRI will help to further screen and optimize the in vivo enhanced imaging and treatment of the BIVA drug.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy has made tremendous clinical progress in advanced-stage malignancies. However, patients with various tumors exhibit a low response rate to immunotherapy because of a powerful immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and insufficient immunogenicity of tumors. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) can not only directly kill tumor cells, but also elicit immunogenic cell death (ICD), providing antitumor immunity. Unfortunately, limitations from the inherent nature and complex TME significantly reduce the efficiency of PDT. Recently, smart nanomedicine-based strategies could subtly modulate the pharmacokinetics of therapeutic compounds and the TME to optimize both PDT and immunotherapy, resulting in an improved antitumor effect. Here, the emerging nanomedicines for PDT-driven cancer immunotherapy are reviewed, including hypoxia-reversed nanomedicines, nanosized metal-organic frameworks, and subcellular targeted nanoparticles (NPs). Moreover, we highlight the synergistic nanotherapeutics used to amplify immune responses combined with immunotherapy against tumors. Lastly, the challenges and future expectations in the field of PDT-driven cancer immunotherapy are discussed.

Abstract
The COVID-19 infections have posed an unprecedented global health emergency, with nearly three million deaths to date, and have caused substantial economic loss globally. Hence, an urgent exploration of effective and safe diagnostic/therapeutic approaches for minimizing the threat of this highly pathogenic coronavirus infection is needed. As an alternative to conventional diagnosis and antiviral agents, nanomaterials have a great potential to cope with the current or even future health emergency situation with a wide range of applications. Fundamentally, nanomaterials are physically and chemically tunable and can be employed for the next generation nanomaterial-based detection of viral antigens and host antibodies in body fluids as antiviral agents, nanovaccine, suppressant of cytokine storm, nanocarrier for efficient delivery of antiviral drugs at infection site or inside the host cells, and can also be a significant tool for better understanding of the gut microbiome and SARS-CoV-2 interaction. The applicability of nanomaterial-based therapeutic options to cope with the current and possible future pandemic is discussed here.

Abstract
Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for an estimated 10 million deaths by 2020. Over the decades, various strategies for tumor therapy have been developed and evaluated. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has attracted increasing attention due to its unique characteristics, including low systemic toxicity and minimally invasive nature. Despite the excellent clinical promise of PDT, hypoxia is still the Achilles' heel associated with its oxygen-dependent nature related to increased tumor proliferation, angiogenesis, and distant metastases. Moreover, PDT-mediated oxygen consumption further exacerbates the hypoxia condition, which will eventually lead to the poor effect of drug treatment and resistance and irreversible tumor metastasis, even limiting its effective application in the treatment of hypoxic tumors. Hypoxia, with increased oxygen consumption, may occur in acute and chronic hypoxia conditions in developing tumors. Tumor cells farther away from the capillaries have much lower oxygen levels than cells in adjacent areas. However, it is difficult to change the tumor's deep hypoxia state through different ways to reduce the tumor tissue's oxygen consumption. Therefore, it will become more difficult to cure malignant tumors completely. In recent years, numerous investigations have focused on improving PDT therapy's efficacy by providing molecular oxygen directly or indirectly to tumor tissues. In this review, different molecular oxygen supplementation methods are summarized to alleviate tumor hypoxia from the innovative perspective of using supplemental oxygen. Besides, the existing problems, future prospects and potential challenges of this strategy are also discussed.

Abstract
This review presents a robust strategy to design photosensitizers (PSs) for various species. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a photochemical-based treatment approach that involves the use of light combined with a light-activated chemical, referred to as a PS. Attractively, PDT is one of the alternatives to conventional cancer treatment due to its noninvasive nature, high cure rates, and low side effects. PSs play an important factor in photoinduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Although the concept of photosensitizer-based photodynamic therapy has been widely adopted for clinical trials and bioimaging, until now, to our surprise, there has been no relevant review article on rational designs of organic PSs for PDT. Furthermore, most of published review articles in PDT focused on nanomaterials and nanotechnology based on traditional PSs. Therefore, this review aimed at reporting recent strategies to develop innovative organic photosensitizers for enhanced photodynamic therapy, with each example described in detail instead of providing only a general overview, as is typically done in previous reviews of PDT, to provide intuitive, vivid, and specific insights to the readers.

Abstract
Leishmaniasis is a serious and endemic infectious disease that has been reported in more than 90 countries and territories. The classical treatment presents a series of problems ranging from difficulty in administration, development of resistance, and a series of side effects. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has already shown great potential for use as a treatment for leishmaniasis that is effective and non-invasive, with very minor side effects. PDT can also be inexpensive and easy to administer. In this review, we will report the most recent developments in the field, starting with the chemical diversity of photosensitizers, highlighting important mechanistic aspects, and noting information that may assist in designing and developing new and promising photosensitizer molecules.

Abstract
Upconversion luminescent (UCL) triggered photodynamic therapy (PDT) affords superior outcome for cancer treatment. However, conventional UCL materials which all work by a multiphoton absorption (MPA) process inevitably need extremely high power density far over the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) to laser. Here, a one-photon absorption molecular upconversion sensitizer Cy5.5-Br based on frequency upconversion luminescent (FUCL) is designed for PDT. The unusual super heavy atom effect (SHAE) in Cy5.5-Br strongly enhances its spin-orbit coupling (0.23 cm-1 ), triplet quantum yield (11.1 %) and triplet state lifetime (18.8 μs) while the potential hot-band absorption of Cy5.5-Br is well maintained. Importantly, Cy5.5-Br can efficiently target the tumour site and kill cancer cells by destroying mitochondria under a biosafety MPE to 808 nm laser. The photostability and antitumor results are obviously superior to that of a Stokes process. This work provides a design criterion for FUCL dyes to realize effective PDT upon a biosafety optical density, possibly bringing more clinical benefits than conventional MPA materials.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS In view of the photothermal effect of polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles and their internal D-π-D structures during assembly, the two-photon excited properties of PDA were studied toward the biomedical application. Further, the PDA molecules were coordinated with Mn2+ and the assembled nanoparticles were covered by cancer cell membranes, the complex system could be used directly for the treatment of cancer with photothermal and chemodynamic therapy. EXPERIMENTS The two-photon excited PDA-Mn2+ nanoparticles were used for the photothermal therapy combined with chemodynamic therapy. The complexes were coated with cancer cell membranes in order to enhance the tumor homologous efficiency. Multi-modal bioimaging and anti-tumor detections were carried out both in vitro and in vivo. FINDINGS PDA nanoparticles were demonstrated to have both good two-photon excited fluorescence and photothermal efficiency. The assembled nanoparticles modified with Mn2+ and cancer cell membranes have an obvious targeting and synergetic anti-cancer efficiency. The system creates a simple way for a precise operation with multi-modal imaging function.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been extensively investigated for decades for tumor treatment because of its non-invasiveness, spatiotemporal selectivity, lower side-effects, and immune activation ability. It can be a promising treatment modality in several medical fields, including oncology, immunology, urology, dermatology, ophthalmology, cardiology, pneumology, and dentistry. Nevertheless, the clinical application of PDT is largely restricted by the drawbacks of traditional photosensitizers, limited tissue penetrability of light, inefficient induction of tumor cell death, tumor resistance to the therapy, and the severe pain induced by the therapy. Recently, various photosensitizer formulations and therapy strategies have been developed to overcome these barriers. Significantly, the introduction of nanomaterials in PDT, as carriers or photosensitizers, may overcome the drawbacks of traditional photosensitizers. Based on this, nanocomposites excited by various light sources are applied in the PDT of deep-seated tumors. Modulation of cell death pathways with co-delivered reagents promotes PDT induced tumor cell death. Relief of tumor resistance to PDT with combined therapy strategies further promotes tumor inhibition. Also, the optimization of photosensitizer formulations and therapy procedures reduces pain in PDT. Here, a systematic summary of recent advances in the fabrication of photosensitizers and the design of therapy strategies to overcome barriers in PDT is presented. Several aspects important for the clinical application of PDT in cancer treatment are also discussed.

Abstract
Tumor hypoxia and the tissue penetration limitation of excitation light hamper the widespread clinical use of photodynamic therapy. The development of new therapeutic strategies that can generate oxygen-independent free radicals without penetration depth limitation is of great demand. Herein, a novel magnetothermodynamic strategy for deep-seated tumor therapy is reported. In this system, a radical initiator (AIPH) was loaded into porous hollow iron oxide nanoparticles (PHIONs). Under the induction of an alternating magnetic field (AMF), PHIONs can generate heat to trigger the release and decomposition of AIPH, resulting in the generation of oxygen-independent alkyl radicals. The resulting alkyl radicals can effectively kill cancer cells under hypoxic conditions. More importantly, this magnetothermally triggered free-radical generator exhibits significant therapeutic efficacy for orthotopic liver tumors in a rat model. This magnetothermodynamic therapy strategy with the advantages of oxygen independence and no limitation of penetration depth holds great promise in deep-seated solid tumor treatment.

Abstract
Multi-photon photosensitizers (PSs) could significantly improve the efficacy of photodynamic therapy due to the long-wavelength favorability for deeper tissue penetration and lower biological damage. However, most studies are limited to single-photon or two-photon PSs at a relatively short-wave excitation window. To overcome this barrier, we rationally design a series of rigid plane compounds with efficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in vitro under laser irradiation. Furthermore, the studies show that one of the compounds (U-TsO) could induce rapid multi-types of cell death under three-photon exposure, suggesting a promising clinical outcome in ex vivo 3D multicellular tumor spheroid. This work offers a novel strategy to construct functional materials with competitive multi-photon photodynamic therapy (PDT) outcome.

Abstract
Given the fact that excessive levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induce damage to proteins, lipids, and DNA, various ROS-generating agents and strategies have been explored to induce cell death and tumor destruction by generating ROS above toxic threshold. Unfortunately, hypoxia in tumor microenvironment (TME) not only promotes tumor metastasis but also enhances tumor resistance to the ROS-generated cancer therapies, thus leading to ineffective therapeutic outcomes. A variety of nanotechnology-based approaches that generate or release O2 continuously to overcome hypoxia in TME have showed promising results to improve the efficacy of ROS-generated cancer therapy. In this minireview, we present an overview of current nanomaterial-based strategies for advanced cancer therapy by modulating the hypoxia in the TME and promoting ROS generation. Particular emphasis is put on the O2 supply capability and mechanism of these nanoplatforms. Future challenges and opportunities of design consideration are also discussed. We believe that this review may provide some useful inspiration for the design and construction of other advanced nanomaterials with O2 supply ability for overcoming the tumor hypoxia-associated resistance of ROS-mediated cancer therapy and thus promoting ROS-generated cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Although current anticancer immunotherapies using immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been reported with a high clinical success rate, numerous patients still bear 'cold' tumors with insufficient T cell infiltration and low immunogenicity, responding poorly to ICI therapy. Considering the advancements in precision medicine, in-depth mechanism studies on the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) among cold tumors are required to improve the treatment for these patients. Nanomedicine has emerged as a promising drug delivery system in anticancer immunotherapy, activates immune function, modulates the TIME, and has been applied in combination with other anticancer therapeutic strategies. This review initially summarizes the mechanisms underlying immunosuppressive TIME in cold tumors and addresses the recent advancements in nanotechnology for cold TIME reversal-based therapies, as well as a brief talk about the feasibility of clinical translation.

Abstract
Organelle-targeted activatable photosensitizers are attractive to improve the specificity and controllability of photodynamic therapy (PDT), however, they suffer from a big problem in the photoactivity under both normoxia and hypoxia due to the limited diversity of phototoxic species (mainly reactive oxygen species). Herein, by effectively photocaging a π-conjugated donor-acceptor (D-A) structure with an N-nitrosamine substituent, we established a unimolecular glutathione and light coactivatable photosensitizer, which achieved its high performance PDT effect by targeting mitochondria through both type I and type II (dual type) reactions as well as secondary radicals-participating reactions. Of peculiar interest, hydrogen radical (H•) was detected by electron spin resonance technique. The generation pathway of H• via reduction of proton and its role in type I reaction were discussed. We demonstrated that the synergistic effect of multiple reactive species originated from tandem cascade reactions comprising reduction of O2 by H• to form O2•-/HO2• and downstream reaction of O2•- with •NO to yield ONOO-. With a relatively large two-photon absorption cross section for photoexcitation in the near-infrared region (166 ± 22 GM at 800 nm) and fluorogenic property, the new photosensitizing system is very promising for broad biomedical applications, particularly low-light dose PDT, in both normoxic and hypoxic environments.

Abstract
In the last decade, the use of nanotheranostics as emerging diagnostic and therapeutic tools for various diseases, especially cancer, is held great attention. Up to date, several approaches have been employed in order to develop smart nanotheranostics, which combine bioactive targeting on specific tissues as well as diagnostic properties. The nanotheranostics can deliver therapeutic agents by concomitantly monitor the therapy response in real-time. Consequently, the possibility of over- or under-dosing is decreased. Various non-invasive imaging techniques have been used to quantitatively monitor the drug delivery processes. Radiolabeling of nanomaterials is widely used as powerful diagnostic approach on nuclear medicine imaging. In fact, various radiolabeled nanomaterials have been designed and developed for imaging tumors and other lesions due to their efficient characteristics. Inorganic nanoparticles as gold, silver, silica based nanomaterials or organic nanoparticles as polymers, carbon based nanomaterials, liposomes have been reported as multifunctional nanotheranostics. In this review, the imaging modalities according to their use in various diseases are summarized, providing special details for radiolabeling. In further, the most current nanotheranostics categorized via the used nanomaterials are also summed up. To conclude, this review can be beneficial for medical and pharmaceutical society as well as material scientists who work in the field of nanotheranostics since they can use this research as guide for producing newer and more efficient nanotheranostics.

Abstract
Objective Nanotechnology-based photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a relatively new anti-tumor strategy. However, its efficacy is limited by the hypoxic state in the tumor microenvironment. In the present study, a poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticle that encapsulated both IR820 and catalase (CAT) was developed to enhance anti-tumor therapy. Materials and Methods HA-PLGA-CAT-IR820 nanoparticles (HCINPs) were fabricated via a double emulsion solvent evaporation method. Dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), laser scanning confocal microscopy, and an ultraviolet spectrophotometer were used to identify and characterize the nanoparticles. The stability of the nanoparticle was investigated by DLS via monitoring the sizes and polydispersity indexes (PDIs) in water, PBS, DMEM, and DMEM+10%FBS. Oxygen generation measurement was carried out via visualizing the oxygen bubbles with ultrasound imaging system and an optical microscope. Inverted fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry were used to measure the uptake and targeting effect of the fluorescent-labeled nanoparticles. The live-dead method and tumor-bearing mouse models were applied to study the HCINP-induced enhanced PDT effect. Results The results showed that the HCINPs could selectively target melanoma cells with high expression of CD44, and generated oxygen by catalyzing H2O2, which increased the amount of singlet oxygen, ultimately inhibiting tumor growth significantly. Conclusion The present study presents a novel nanoplatform for melanoma treatment.

Abstract
Inspired by the dynamic morphology control of molecular assemblies in biological systems, we have developed pH-responsive transformable peptide-based nanoparticles for photodynamic therapy (PDT) with prolonged tumor retention times. The self-assembled peptide-porphyrin nanoparticles transformed into nanofibers when exposed to the acidic tumor microenvironment, which was mainly driven by enhanced intermolecular hydrogen bond formation between the protonated molecules. The nanoparticle transformation into fibrils improved their singlet oxygen generation ability and enabled high accumulation and long-term retention at tumor sites. Strong fluorescent signals of these nanomaterials were detected in tumor tissue up to 7 days after administration. Moreover, the peptide assemblies exhibited excellent anti-tumor efficacy via PDT in vivo. This in situ fibrillar transformation strategy could be utilized to design effective stimuli-responsive biomaterials for long-term imaging and therapy.
